Labor & Birth Doula Support

When everyone's looking at baby, who's going to be looking at you?

Fact: Birth is unpredictable

It’s impossible to know exactly how it will all play out, so the anticipation of giving birth for the first time (or witnessing your partner give birth for the first time) can be overwhelming. How are you supposed to plan for something you haven’t done before? How do you prepare for an event when you don’t know what day it’s happening, how long it’s going to last, or what it’s going to be like?

Answer: You get help

Throughout your pregnancy and birth the expert you can turn to for answers to your questions, for reassurance that things are normal, for guidance when it gets overwhelming, for physical comfort when you’re in pain, for emotional support when you need it most, and for help learning how you and your partner can work together to have a positive birth experience is called:

A Doula

With a professional birth doula by your side, there’s no need to worry about remembering every single thing from childbirth class, if your partner is going to be able to provide the kind of support you need through labor, or even if you’re going to know when it’s time to head to the hospital or not.

This is what we do

When you add Little Apple Doulas to your birth plans, you’re adding a team of knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, and encouraging women who have helped over one hundred other parents navigate this very same path before.

My doula helped to keep me calm, collected, and focused on my goal the entire time. I felt well supported thoughout my entire pregnancy and that support continued even after my baby was born. My doula reached out and checked in on me multiple times after delivery and even after we were home and settled. I would recommend these professionals to every expectant family, no matter what type of birth you have in mind!
